Note: Verse 1 & Verse 2 don't really have lots of guitaring but anyway
here is the chords.
Verse 1:
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost,
Gmaj7 A7
For a life of sin I have paid the cost,
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
As I walk by all the people say,
A7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Just another guy on the lost highway,
Verse 2:
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine,
Gmaj7 A7
And a woman's life makes a life like mine,
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
On the day we met, I went astray,
A7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
I started going down that lost highway,
Note: You just got to listen to the song to understand this part. This
is a acoustic part done by Chris while Jonny is on the electric
in the 3rd & 4th verse. For those who don't know, p is pull off
or drag to another barr in 1 strike, h is hammer or hit your
finger on 1 barr with 1 finger on the lower barr in 1 strike, r
is release your finger on a higher barr with another finger on
the lower barr in 1 strike. So below you'll see that I've mixed
in both plucking & struming into a tab chart.

Verse 3:
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I was just a lad, only twenty two,

A7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
I started going down that lost highway,
Verse 4:
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Now boys don't start to ramblin' round,
Gmaj7 A7
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound,
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
Take my advice or you'll curse the day,
A7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
You started rollin' down that lost highway,
A7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
You started goin' down that lost highway,
A7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Goin' down that lost highway,
A7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Goin' down that lost highway,
